oh, but it did.
example (i haven't touched this article):
http://www.evolt.org/article/A_useful_list_of_Office_2000_shortcut_keys/12/4
093/evolt.org
There are no <p>'s in the body at all (look at the code). You can see
where they used to be, because the CR/LFs are still there. There were
paragraphs there when Rudy wrote the article - bits like the "Why Excel?"
section didn't used to be one big block of text - it was multiple paragraphs.
As I recall, Rudy edited that article to fix a colouring problem. The
paragraphs would've been ripped out at that point.
If you still don't believe me that this is a bug, try submitting an article
that is just:
<p>First</p>
<p>Second</p>
View it, check the source, it will have <p>'s.
Click the edit link, hit "Update Article!", view the article again and
those <p>'s will be gone.
Why aren't you using htmleditformat()?
